Wait, do universities usually do something about students sexually harassing one another? Pretty sure that was the whole point of the Student Union and the frat system.
If I'm parsing the article correctly, it sounds like the harasser is the one who called in the FBI, not the university. The university expelled her not as retaliation, but because she stopped attending class because she was afraid of the FBI.
Shouldn't she be suing the person who made the false report to the FBI, instead of the school?

After received her master's degree from Central Michigan University, Ahmad enrolled in the University of Bridgeport in 2008 and studied to become a chiropractor.
I know it has absolutely nothing to do with the case, so i'm trying, but I have a very hard time turning off my "everything which comes out of a chiropractor's mouth is complete unmitigated bullshiat" reflex.

A Muslim woman is suing the University of Bridgeport, alleging that the school failed to investigate her claims that a fellow student sexually harassed her and instead retaliated by reporting her to the FBI based on a false claim that she was a terrorist.
this is so simple to solve, kill whoever contacted the FBI.

When i was younger, I got "chiropractor" mixed up with "osteologist" and couldn't figure out why everyone was so down on them. I kicked myself later, but after running into a few other people who had the same idea, I started to wonder whether it was a deliberate cultivation of ignorance on the part of the industry. (Chiropractor, osteopath, osteologist.) So people probably go to chiropractors for bone and joint pain...

One of my customers is married to a Muslim (from one of them sandy places Over There). They were in a plane on 9/11.
They were called every day, at any hour of the day, for years until they gave up their phones and now buy disposable ones which they switch every month. Yay, Homeland Security!

I'm confused. Why would she get a bachelors and masters degree to be a fake doctor.
Chiropractors don't even need a bachelor's degree

Well, I work in the projects, and see children of Baptists named "Al`Kaida" and "Phat`Wah" and the like all the time.
Ten kids with 5 different surnames on one babbymomma and the first names look like they were either spit out by a crackwhore with turrets, ot copied roughly from hygiene products that were in the delivery room.
I'm sure there is an attractive and successful defense as to why that makes perfect sense.
And I do have a cousin who is muslim, and black.

Well there's two kinds of chiropractors. There's the kind that say "and if we do this it should alleviate pressure being placed on this nerve and fix the problem" And then there's the evangelical ones that say,"I'm going to twist this and then Jesus will fix it." One is a quack and the other simply unfounded.

Haters gon' hate. And in their feeble minds, they equate a few bad apples to the whole kit and kaboodle.
Honestly, if you've ever been to a real chiropractor for back pain, you understand why they're not just real doctors, but the most important specialists some of us will ever have.

I've been to chiropractors on two continents. They always manage to make my back feel better and I've never gotten any kind of quackery. It's all been 100% about the back and their advice has never been weird. They gave me the same list of exercises as the physical therapist, but they charged a lot less and they actually manage to end spasms for me.
These"quack" chiropractors might exist, but I've yet to meet one.

"Ahmad was
racially profiled and discriminated against because of her race, color and ethnic identity
as an African American Muslim and labeled a terrorist based on false accusations provided by the harasser and adopted without adequate investigation by the university," the lawsuit states.
I don't think race has anything to do with it. He was sexually harassing her by:
"repeatedly made sexual advances and graphic offensive comments about wanting to have sex with her".
If he was trying to bone her wouldn't that mean he isn't a racist? He used her religion in a revenge plot for reporting his sexual harassment, which was a dick move, but it really has nothing to do with her race.
People and lawyers need to stop playing the race card unnecessarily because it cheapens the times when it is actually valid. She was religiously profiled if anything, you could make her white it doesn't change the circumstances of the harassment. Perhaps there is not enough details in the article to make an accurate judgement though.

Legal case are complicated, and these internet articles provide no info. I'd rather hear about the outcome of these lawsuits - at least then we have some established fact to discuss. as it is, you can be certain that every single proposition and supposition made in this thread will be entirely anally extracted.
In about another twenty posts, it'll be down to "F**K MOOSLIM! NO LIK MURIKA GO HOME!!!"
Enjoy.

The college I went to had a pretty large Muslim population. I think they were mostly from Malaysia. Kind of sad that they all just stuck together and didn't socialize, but they were pretty nice.
I was in a chemistry class with a group of about five, one burned her hand on the bunsen burner and none of them knew what to do. I had to show them what burn cream was and what a bandage was. Heh, I think they were shocked when I helped her.

Anyone with even a cursory understanding of why Muslim women wear the hijab knows it's to
prevent
sexual advances by men.
If you're a slack-jawed, bigoted troglodyte like this guy seems to be, you might think that treating such a woman in precisely the
opposite
way might be a wholesome humorous, and (most importantly) American way to spend a semester or two.
Coupled with the fact that he was more than happy to use the culture of paranoia we've gleefully nurtured against Muslims in this country against all sane indications to the contrary, Religion was definitely a factor.
Race?
That's tricky. To suggest that it wasn't in any way a factor might be suggesting that there aren't whole groups of people whose skin color lumps them into the "African-American" demographic in our country aren't in fact, made up of many diverse groups from many different cultural backgrounds- more than a few of which have been traditionally Muslim for centuries.
It's on the one hand, hard to confirm, it's also premature to deny. I'd have to know more. I suppose you could ask, "do the specifics really matter? the guy is clearly a bigoted jerk of one stripe or another," but then you'd have to ask yourself if bigots are often bigoted about only one very specific thing about people.

Apparently that was not the case here as the University dismissed her complaint out of hand with no apparent or significant investigation into the matter.

So she's a career student who happens to be Muslim, going to a school run by a pack of Moonies (which are basically a fringe Christian group). One of the other students says he'd love to throw her over a log. She says go to hell, so he tells the feds that she's a terrorist, all while the Moonie administration is trying to get everybody to just settle down and not talk about it.
Quality people.

I am going with not enough facts to make a determination. If he was as racially discriminatory as he was religiously, I am sure the verbal sexual harassment included a handful of racial slurs. The article doesn't say so we don't know. Upon initial reading it didn't seem to involve race, but I bet there is a lot of information that we don't know.

Possibilities:
1) Her claims are true
2) She's a psycho
3) Something else
Without more information, we really can't say, but having met a few people who match her description, I know which one I'm leaning toward.
